SUPERINTENDENTS  REPORT 

It  will  be  recalled  that  the  money  apjii-opriated  for 
schools  last  March  was  considerably  less  than  the  amount 
called  for  by  the  school  board's  budget  for  this  year.  This 
was  due  to  the  fact  that  there  was  a  large  balance  from 


Town  of  Bartlett  23 


the  previous  year,  due  to  the  saving  effected  by  the  closing 
of  the  Goodrich  Falls  School,  and  also  because  some  of 
the  money  raised  for  high  school  tuition  the  year  before 
was  not  used.  At  the  end  of  this  year  there  will  ap])arently 
be  no  deficit  but  the  balance  will  be  small,  and  therefore 
it  will  be  necessary  to  raise  the  amount  estimated  for  next 
year's  expenditures. 

During  the  summer,  sanitary  toilets  were  installed  at 
the  Glen  school.  This  is  one  of  the  best  improvements 
made  in  recent  years.  These  toilets  should  be  installed  in 
every  school  house.  Ventilating  stoves  should  also  be 
placed  in  each  school.  The  stove  at  Intervale  is  burned 
out  and  the  stove  at  Glen,  while  adequate  for  heating  pur- 
poses, does  not  help  the  ventilation  which  is  very  poor 
in  this  school.  Open  window  ventilation  is  satisfactory 
at  certain  seasons,  but  in  cold  weather  it  is  not  practicable. 
The  Goodrich  Falls  school  in  its  present  condition  is 
not  very  satisfactory  for  school  occupancy. 

The  most  difficult  problem  in  school  administration  is 
to  secure  efficiency  and  school  accomplishment  in  eight- 
grade  schools  of  twenty-five  or  more  pupils  under  one 
teacher.  Notwithstanding  this  handicap,  our  teachers  are 
doing  a  very  good  job.  There  is  probably  no  way  at  pres- 
ent to  remedy  the  situation.  One  two-room  school  for  the 
district  would  solve  the  educational  problem  but  difficulties 
as  to  location  and  transportation  are  such  that  this  plan 
has  not  seemed  feasible.

BARTLETT  SPECIAL  DISTRICT 


SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT 

Prior  to  the  opening  of  the  fall  term  the  school  board 
made  a  contract  with  the  Conway  School  District  for  part 
time  services  of  Miss  Harriet  M.  Curren,  a  school  nurse. 
This  action  had  been  recommended  to  the  board  at  the 
last  district  meeting,  and  as  a  rearrangement  of  the  Conway 
Nursing  Union  was  made  during  the  summer,  it  appeared 
to  be  an  excellent  time  for  Bartlett  to  enter  such  a  union. 
The  cost  is  $300  but  part  of  this  is  paid  by  an  extra  allow- 
ance by  the  State  Board  of  Education  in  the  allotment  of 
state  aid. 

Because  of  an  expressed  desire  on  the  part  of  a  num- 
ber of  high  school  pupils  to  study  Latin,  a  beginners'  class 


Town  of  Bartlett  25 


of  fourteen  was  organized  in  Se])teniber.  The  present  i)lan 
is  tliat  this  class  will  continue  the  study  of  Latin  for  a 
second  year.  No  beginners'  class  will  be  formed  next 
fall  but  in  Sei)teniber  1932  another  class  will  be  started 
if  there  is  any  demand.  Further  than  this,  it  is  impossible 
to  plan  in  advance.  It  is  possible  to  give  every  i)upil  an 
oi)i)ortunity  to  have  at  least  two  years  of  Latin  without 
increasing  our  teaching  force  or  eliminating  work  in  science 
and  mathematics  which  we  must  retain  in  order  that  our 
l)upils  may  be  prei)ared  to  enter  higher  institutions. 

All  of  our  teachers  are  well  trained  and  experienced. 
They  are  all  graduates  of  normal  schools  or  colleges.  It 
goes  without  saying,  however,  that  they  need  the  coopera- 
tion of  all  parents  and  citizens  in  order  to  do  their  best 
work.

REPORT  OF  SCHOOL  NURSE 
Grade  School 

The  preliminary  examination  of  106  grade  children 
including  weighing  and  measuring,  vision  and  hearing 
tests,  show  that  there  is  a  large  number  of  defective  teeth 
and  diseased  tonsils,  which  have  always  proved  a  serious 
menace  to  health  and  which  we  hope  will  be  corrected  by 
the  end  of  the  school  year.  Some  dental  corrections  have 
been  made  since  September.
